Too many miles to remember the smell of the air
This place is all good but nothing can ever compare
The sun burns my skin as it pierces cerulean skies
I love this place but it’s only a thin disguise
Paradise
Is wherever your people are
You’re alive with the people you love
Paradise
Wherever you wander
Is waiting for you
At the end on the line
4,000 miles in the sky ‘til the wheels hit the ground
just 7 miles more on the road ‘til I’m through the front door
It wouldn’t be right if the rain wasn’t drowning the stones
But I’m used to that and for sure I’m just glad to be home
Sun goes down, darkness falls
Trapped with my thoughts in these four walls
Trying to make some sense of it all
But I’m getting nowhere
Dying to see what’s in your heart
Trying not to be what’s keeping us apart
You see the light
While I’m stuck here in the dark
And then you said
We can’t stay like this and
And then you said
We’re just not the same
Is it useless, for me to wish that there was just nothing in our way?
Everybody wants to live this life forever, forever
If there is somewhere else are we going there together? Together
Everybody wants to live this life forever, forever
If there is somewhere else are we going there together? Together
If I just hope and you just pray
Could things work out between us some day?
It doesn’t feel right to be giving up
I can’t stop, I want to fight
Always thinking that we might
Find the path that only you can see
As I walk these streets alone
I think of you I think of home
It seems our younger years
Were filled with fewer tears
What it takes to carry on
Is something brave, something strong
Embrace the road ahead
That’s what he’d have said
Hold on, look into your heart
I can take the weight from your shoulders
Hold on, look into your heart
I won’t leave your side ‘til it’s over
Laughter always pulls us through
And we’re just like him, me and you
And though the road is long
That spirit carries on
We learned of kindness and of grace
The many things we should embrace
Keep that with you now
Push ahead somehow
Here we both stand
The moon and the stars light the dancefloor
All that we need
Is here in the still of the night
All of the words
Could never describe the wonder
The feeling of peace
When everything is just right
Here we both stand
Longing to hold one another
Never to end
Wrapped in the sweet summer air
Wishing that we
Could stay in this moment forever
Into the night
Young, pure and free
Take my hand
And we’ll go dancing
Underneath the stars
On a beach that’s only ours
Take my hand
And we’ll go dancing
In the shadow of the moon
Take my hand, take my hand
When we were young
The summer would seem so long
And we’d sing our favourite song
We heard it on the radio
It was long ago
An endless light
And laughter until the dawn
A time when our dreams were born
Paved the way for all we have
And all we need
A summer sky
Its beauty was no surprise
Our love was in your eyes
I knew at once when you looked at me
You were all I could see
A slow dance
As you placed your hand in mine
There was never a better time
Moving to this ancient
Haunting melody
I dont know where to begin.
I dont know how to start over.
I dont know where I was til I found you.
And I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
I can’t believe what I’m feeling but I know
That I don’t ever want it to go away.
Coz when I’m standing on the Border Line,
I realise that my life’s not a waste of time as I’m standing on the Border Line with you.
Standing on the Border Line with you (x3)
And I know I was different before.
I had a mouth that would never let me speak
But that all changed every time I saw you smiling.
And then I take a different direction.
I take a look at my own reflection.
I just realised I’m my own worst enemy.
Coz when I’m standing on the Border Line, I look around and everything feels right as I’m standing on the Border Line with you
And if wait forever to find someone like you. (x2)
To find someone like you.
365 and a quarter until we start this thing anew
I’ll be ready for some changes
I’ll be waiting to breakthrough
Chasing down a dream
Like a storm in the Western sky
Unyielding in it’s power
Unwilling to subside
And I’m waiting on the sun
Waiting for a good time
Looking to the sky
Searching for what’s mine
Waiting on a sunny day to come my way
Running through the fields
Into the moonlight
Tell me how it feels when everything’s just right
Waiting on a sunny day to come my way
Heavy, strong and steady
Unbroken I will stay
As a river joins the ocean
I will find my way
Through the darkest night time
Until the dawn of day
Waiting ever ready
For what’s to come my way
